Rock Ridge 2018:Registration Deadline: May
19th

This is a GREAT way to start the season. We have an early
deadline as the sign up this year is first come, first serve . . .
there will be an opportunity to sign up later . . . but you may not
get in (the invitation has been extended to the Vernon and Salmon
Arm swim clubs so it will fill up). Sign up now.

Cost $225. We will need a parent volunteer for every 10
swimmers that sign up (no cost).

Please find below more information, including a tentative
schedule.

It would be great to have 30 KISU swimmers signed up (then we
can send three coaches).

Oliver Outdoor Practice:

This is our Annual Outdoor Practice in
Oliver, Saturday, May 26,
9:30-11am.

All KISU swimmers are welcome, but
those that are attending the Wenatchee swim meet should especially
be there as there are a few tricks to swimming outdoors that we
never experience in Penticton.

No sign up is required, just show up. There is a rumour
that there may be a stop at a particular ice cream place on the way
home as long as all the swimmers swim their hearts out in practice.

Please note that there will NOT be regular practice in Penticton
this particular Saturday. Everyone should go to Oliver!

Up Coming Meets:

Salmon Arm Regionals:May 26th
Registration deadline: May 9th

Details of this meet have not been posted yet butexpect that it
will be very similar to the Salmon Arm Regional Meet in
February. If you don't have many Tier Times . . . this is the
meet you want to be attending!

Wenatchee Apple Capital:
June 1st-3rd 2018

This is KISU highlight meet of the summer. The meet is
open to all Sub4 swimmers and we really encourage all swimmers to
attend. It is great experience - 10 lane outdoor pool,
international competition. It is also a great team bonding
experience for KISU. Don't miss out.

There is an early deadline as this meet does fill up and we want
to be first to get our entries in.

Also . . . book your hotel rooms early as this can be a big
weekend for Wenatchee with other events happening at the same time
so you want to get your hotel booked as soon as possible.
Unless you are camping!

This is the second Tier I meet of the season. Swimmers
need to have the Tier I time in 200 IM and one other event.

All KISU swimmers with Tier I times should be attending.
Especially with the event being in Kelowna we are hoping to have
bigger numbers for this Tier I.

More information will be posted once the meet package is
out.

Tier II Victoria:July
6th-8th Registration Deadline: June
5th

This will be the second Tier II meet of the season. This
time long course in Victoria.

All KISU swimmers with Tier II times should be attending, as
this is the new AAAs. KISU's goal is to place Top 5, but we
will need everyone there to do it.

the time being, just plan on being there.
